This is a Koenigsegg Regera. I would do unspeakable things to own one of these. One of the things that make the Regera astonishing, beyond its price, 1500 horsepower twin-turbo V8 with 3 electric motors or the simple fact it’s a Koenigsegg, is the fact it has no gearbox. Koenigsegg have opted to throw out conventional power delivery systems and make a new one instead, calling it Koenigsegg Direct Drive (DDT). I am not smart enough to understand or explain how it works but it saves weight and prevents energy wastage during acceleration using the electric motors. This bus thought it was capable of being one of these dream machines, but crippled itself instead. What happened? A camcar on Redhill Close, 12 April, saw a peculiar sight where a private bus was on the road, and left its gearbox behind with it. The bus was of course stranded with no way to move, and forced traffic to weave around it. It is unknown what caused this failure, as well as if anyone is hurt or how long it took to get the bus off the road. There doesn't seem to be an accident as the bus's exterior looks untouched but there's plenty of metal bits covering the road as well. Online chatter The jokes were of course on the gearbox, but it varied on whether it was meant to be a birth or a dump. Others were also concerned about the condition of such vehicles and what were vehicle inspections for if buses like these were still allowed on the road. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

Recently I see many companies chartering private buses to ferry their staffs. I see many of these mini buses driving recklessly. Which company is the one with white paint work and light blue + red strips at the bottom? Someone should warn those company who engage them that they are putting their staffs in peril everyday riding in those mini buses. Mostly are those Toyota Hi-Ace vans. Some of the daily violations I see on the road, especially around 430 - 5pm around Tuas/ Jurong area. 1) Speeding - Speed up to 100kph along 80kph stretches of PIE and AYE 2) Driving on Lane 1 3) Recklessly changing lanes 4) Failure to form up - Cutting queues 5) Turning from wrong lane The transport companies should bear more responsibilities towards their customers and road users. Even the management of the companies that uses these companies should make sure of the safety and welfare of their staffs. Otherwise, it is just an accident waiting to happen.
